    QuickHeal Total Security 2013.

    Long ago I used WinCleaner Anti-Virus which used Quickheal.
    I have used BitDefender before but QH is good enough for me.
    I will try Comodo when Quickheal comes up for renewal though later this year.

    Windows 7.

    did you ever hear about "$ - Influenz"? Some use the word corruption which is the same. Not a single test report on this planet is pure objective. The more you pay the better the test report. that easy :roflmao:

    I have been using kaspersky internet security for the last 4 years and having no trouble to my system. further, it has inbuilt anti-banner function which saves my band width by blocking all advertisement of any sites. Its firewall is very effective. for me KIS is a complete security package.

    I am using the MCAfee on the laptop and Kaspersky AntiVirus inside the Desktop, and there is no problem about these Antivirus systems running on Windows 8 Core / Pro x64.

    All I use is Panda Cloud Free? My machine doesn't even use a 1GB of RAM when I am surfing the internet.
    I also use Malwarebytes to scan weekly.
    And Ad-Block for Chrome.

    I use Avast! (free) on all my OSs except W8s, on those I use the built-in Defender.

    Windows Defender is elected by the majority?.... It is surprising that Kaspersky is not the first.:eek:

    I will stick with defender, with new features in 8.1 Malware Resistance –Windows Defender, Microsoft’s free antivirus solution in Windows 8, will include network behavior monitoring to help detect and stop the execution of known and unknown malware.

    I use Norton Internet Security for my machine(s). I got a free 3 year licence and I have no problem with it. I think they have cleaned up their apps over the past 10 years because they are only getting better and better (again, only my opinion).
